<TITLE>08. Par 84-100</TITLE>L-84 How many remembers about the squirrels? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. That was a puzzling Scripture, in my life, that I--I never could understand that.

L-85 And there was another one that puzzled me, that was when Moses could tell God a better way than God knowed how to do anything, when Moses said, "The people will say, 'Your God was able to bring you out, but not able to keep you,'" and Moses threw hisself in the breach. Then later I found out that, Moses, that was Christ in Moses, standing for the people. See?

L-86   So then on this Scripture, that I never would preach on it, "If you say to this mountain, 'Be moved.'" And you know the story, so I'll bypass that. Now, little did I know what that was leading to. And I think that Brother Woods and Brother Fred, and them, are here in the building, which was present when that happened, or right after it happened there.

L-87 And Brother Rodney and Brother Charlie, from down in Kentucky, Sister Wood's brother and them was present when it happened down in Kentucky, which was the second time it happened. Just simply speaking into existence, things that wasn't. See? Speaking, all time, and backing up the Scriptures, encouraging.

L-88 The third time it happened was Hattie Wright. Is Hattie here tonight? That's Edith's... How many knows Hattie Wright? Brother Woods and I were sitting there when it happened, and when the Holy Spirit said, "Give her what she wants," and we was talking about that, how them squirrels come into existence.

L-89   And I said, "Is, only thing it is, He is Jehovah-Jireh. Just when Abraham needed a ram, God provided that ram. And He provided the squirrels. He can speak a squirrel just into existence, because He is creator, just the same as He could speak the ram. Abraham never asked for it. He was just simply going on to do it, but it showed that Jehovah-Jireh was there."

L-90 When I said that, a humble little woman... For the first time this ever happened, the Third Pull, upon a human being, was a little, humble woman.

L-91 That, making about two hundred dollars a year, for her living, all she got out of her little farm. Her husband dead; two children that had turned kind of wild. And come and donated twenty dollars, of that, to the building of this Tabernacle. And Meda had give me some money that morning for groceries, twenty dollars, and I was going to give it back to her that day, while I was down there, so that she wouldn't have to pay it. But she wouldn't take it. And when...

L-92 She was sitting back in the corner, and when I said, "Only thing I know, is, He is still Jehovah-Jireh."

L-93   And little Hattie said the right word. She said, "That's nothing but the Truth."

L-94 And when she said that, Brother Banks Woods here is one that was present, that room felt like it was coming apart. And the Holy Spirit said, the same Voice that spoke about the squirrels, said, "Give her what she asks for."

L-95 And I said, "Sister Hattie, as a witness before God, this is it. Now, if there is any doubt in your mind, you ask what you want to, and if it ain't laid in your lap, then I'm a false prophet."

L-96 She said, "Brother Branham." Everybody was crying. Said, "What shall I ask?"

L-97 I said, "You are poor, and you live on the hill over there, with no money; you might ask for that. You got a little, crippled sister sitting here, Edith, that we prayed for, for years; you might ask for her healing." I said, "Your father and mother is old and broke down; you might ask for them. Whatever you ask for, Sister Hattie, see now if it happens or not, right now." And I said, "He has just told me, the same Voice, said, 'Give her what she asks for.'"

L-98   And she looked around, said, "What shall I say, Brother Branham?"

L-99 I said, "Say what your desire is. Think of your greatest desire, and say it."

L-100 And her boys was even snickering and laughing. And she said, "The greatest desire I have is the salvation of my two sons."
